The property manager is their main point of contact, alleviating you of this burden.

Collecting rent

Regular collections of rent ensures on time rental payments. If tenants are failing to pay their rent on time, the property manager will be know the correct steps to take to address the situation, including the issue of an eviction notice if deemed necessary.

Limiting tenant changes
